First post of 2013

I did start two samplers on New Year's Day. One was the sampler I chose for the Scarlet Letter challenge, IAMEK Dated 1801, and the other was Jane Pattison. They are in a weekly rotation for for now. I'm still working on the borders of both, so this post isn't too exciting! 



IAMEK Dated 1801, Scarlet Letter
Unidentified linen, 40 count
Recommended AVAS threads



 Jane Pattison, Shakespeare's Peddler
Vintage Light Examplar, 40 count, Lakeside Linen
Silk conversion by Attic Needlework

Have a great week!!

Pretty sampler choices! And your stitching is beautiful!
Hope this doesn't double post - I think my computer is ready to bite the dust and my first comment disappeared. :)

Lovely new starts, Dona! I will be stitching Jane sometime this year. I'm going to try out the wools and see how I like them; otherwise your silks look mighty tempting!

What beautiful samplers, Dona! Great progress on them both. Seeing the pictures makes me long to dig out any sampler that uses silk and get stitching!

Both starts look lovely! I loved jane Pattison from the first time I saw her, but wasn't thrilled about working with the wools. I'm looking forward to seeing future pictures of the silks you're using from The Attic.
